Skerritt
A Loveletter to Life, The World, and to You, My New Friend
James Skerritt is as dastardly and twisted as he is genius. His paintings tell the stories of audacious youngsters and foolhardy pirates, bound for thrilling escapades in strange and unknown lands. However, don’t be fooled by these stories. In spite of their colourful and charming nature, they are in fact, unscrupulous calls to adventure, set to seduce anyone crackbrained enough to voyage out onto the high seas themselves.
The work is oil on canvas, maniacally painted and carefully crafted by this villain’s cold calculating hand. A severe lack of art historical knowledge informs the work greatly and the artist allows his poor draughtsmanship skills to create boundless unclarity to engage a frustrated viewer’s imagination endlessly. A Loveletter to Life, The World and to You, My New Friend, is a labour of love and will be on display to the public from now until the end of time itself.
